Explanatory notes for planting data tables
To protect confidentiality, the following rules are applied to reporting varieties:
• where there are fewer than 10 registered owners with plantings of a
particular variety across the state, that variety is not separately identified in
either the state or the regional reports but is grouped with “other
red/white”, AND
• where there are fewer than three registered owners with a particular grape
variety in a given region, that variety is not separately identified in the
regional report but is grouped with “other red/white” unless it is a white
variety listed in the top seven, or red variety in the top five by planted area
for the state for the current year.
